  Still under his care and suffering this problem (urgency and frequency of urination). trying to figure out what is going on...have tried many drugs for incontinence...it remains to be seen if any good results may occur. It may be Dr. Bretan is a bit cavalier and seems very preoccupied at times. Actually many, many drugs have failed per his advice for me. I'm not giving up on mitigating this problem or the Dr. We'll see what happens and will out.

  If only I had time to read reviews on this doctor. Please read this before seeing Dr. Bretan. First, his office staff is amazing. However, Dr. Bretan has no patient etiquette. I started seeing him after an emergency room visit that determined I had a kidney stone (first one). Was in severe pain, he scheduled to perform surgery to try and retrieve the kidney stone more than a week later. The stone was found to be too large for him to remove, he placed a stent in and had me follow up two weeks. At my follow up appointment he schedule for me to have lithotripsy done two weeks’ later. All this time in pain. Once the procedure is done I was scheduled to see him two weeks later and have the stent removed. I went to my appointment and was sent away because he wasn't sure if he had insurance approval to remove it in the office. 3 days later I come back, explain I'm still in pain and was told once the stent was removed I feel a lot better. Still had the pain. My primary care doctor sent me for testing and it was determined I still had the 9mm kidney stone. Contacted him he had me come in to be scheduled for a second lithotrispy two weeks later. Remind you this is already 3 months after my first visit with him still in pain. I have the procedure done. 5 days later I'm still in pain and haven't passed any stone particles. He had me get an ultrasound (which by this time it has been determined the type of kidney stone I have doesn't show up on an ultrasound, and the Radiologist has recommended a CT 3 times already). The kidney stone doesn't appear or has been broken up. I see Dr. Bretan afterwards. He comes into the exam room doesn't even say hello or good day instead states "There's no kidney stone, your pain is all muscular." I ask him then why do I continue to have the same and still haven't passed any of the stone. His response is your kidney stone is gone. The next day I was throwing up, had diarrhea, and a temperature. Left Dr. Bretan a voicemail because his office is closed on Wednesdays. Never returned my phone call. I ended up going to the ER. They treated me and said my symptoms sound like I could still have the kidney stone or the particles of the stone is still there. The next day I call his office and the office staff was informed I had been to the ER but was recommended I contact my primary care doctor because according to the ultrasound the kidney stone is gone. Each visit he never greeted me when entering the room, nor physically examined, or give me a cordial departure. At my last procedure he didn't come into the recovery room to check on me. Four months later I'm still in pain and turned over to my primary care doctor with pending issues. At each visit I waited in the office for 30 - 60 minutes, and was seen for less than 5 minutes and not physically examined. If I had the opportunity to choose another doctor I would. Once I started treatment it was too late.
